Courteney Cox goes behind the camera tonight to tell the story of deadly online love triangle in Lifetime’s TalHotBlond. Thomas Montgomery (Garrett Hillahunt) decides to play online poker with some friends, but when a young woman invites him to a private chat his life will change forever. The happily married father of two will find himself falling for the high school student and will have an online affair with her for over a year. He tells her that he is teenage Marine who is going overseas to fight for our country and she decides to send him a care packages. One of those packages will be intercepted by his wife (Laura San Giacomo), who blows his cover and now the teen doesn’t want anything to do with him. TalHotBlond then starts an online affair with one Thomas’ coworkers who is much closer to her age and he can’t have that. He will do the unthinkable to stop the two from meeting. Once the only obstacle is out of his way, he will make a discovery no one will see coming. As interesting as this movie is, I just wish the movie would’ve focused more on the twist then the set up. Don’t get me wrong I was thoroughly engrossed in the movie, but the ending is what makes the real life story so much more shocking that you want to know more about it. So tune in for a movie that makes you wonder who is behind the instant messaging screen. That and to see Hillahunt do a brilliant job in a role that is nothing like the grandfather we watch every week on Raising Hope. He seriously blew me away.
